Ok ive stopped the flickering textures in game but still get green flashing menu screen, what i did was override the skyrim profile with the acb?p.exe, i didn't know you could do this, if i would have known this 6 months ago i wouldn't have had to use 11.10 all this time (thanks AMD). So i was right all along, it was the fix AMD first made in 11.11B that was the baddy.

sometime around october 2011, the functionality to create an XML out of the BLB was unlocked by AMD, so now anyone can view the CAP or modify it

Well I was able to figure out how to use the atiapfxx.exe file to convert blb to xml and back again. The problem is that I dont understand how to reinstate your new blb file. Is it good enough to copy replace it into the 'application profiles' folder and reboot?

Anyhow Asder tried to mod the gpu limit for xfire in the blb xml file but it didnt work for me. Must be hard locked on the driver level..

I think this should be changed to amd fix for skyrim I had a cf setup 6850 upgraded to. 7970 and all the micro stutter I got indoors is still presant on my single gpu configuration. So my point being amd needs a fix in genral.

Now that you mention this, I noticed this the other day. Tried the 12.4 (8.97) betas and it does the same as with the 12.3 and 12.4 WHQL's. Kinda wierd as its silky smooth locked at 60 outdoors.

When I play I get Random stutters, but I think some of its because I run the game max and it hits the ram limit.

OSD reports at times 2300mb of ram usage. Afterburner basically adds the ram from both cards, but realistically you split it in half and get 1150mb which is over the 5870 1 gb barrier.

I confirm this by disabling crossfire, something I knew before hand as crossfire-ed cards don't add ram together. I'm sure you all knew this but I never turned on the ram counter in afterburner until now.

My stutters go away when I kill all the AA and FXAA as the ram usage drops below 2 GB, even then I still notice some hicups, but the game plays just like arma 2, its not very optimized and being such a big game with so much going on, I just brush it off, its not bad enough to ruin game play but its noticeable.

Do any of you have this game installed on a SSD? I notice alot of trashing from the hard drive light. Just wondering if some of it is read and write lag.

I dont have any SSDs just a couple of Western digitals one 640GB for windows and games, and a 1 terabyte drive for MP3 and steam app folder storage.

I had a pair of cruical SSDs but they kept dying months after use so I gave up on them for now, next rig will sport a couple of big ones.

Regardless, the game plays 75 percent of the time pretty decent so I'm not complaining, considering the complexity of this game, Arma 2 acts the same way and in more ways than skyrim reminds me of it.

yes, this stutter talk has been around since day1, affects single cards, it has to do with the iPresentInterval (vsync) setting in the config file & it's appeared in previous bethesda engine games (like fallout 3)

I had a few problems with Crossfire but for me it was fixed after a few driver updates. Running the 12.4 drivers right now and everything works great in Skyrim. Also running Windows 8 with the CP drivers installed no problems there ether.

Still getting stuttering whilst looking/turning and its quite bad, just wondering if a cpu, ram and mobo upgrade would sort problem out considering skyrim is cpu bound. Im wondering if my cpu is a bottle neck, especially at least for crossfire in general ?

people...the problem for you it's the ultra...setting...just use high...without AA...and without AF...and it's silky smooth 60-240fps...learn to play wisely... learn to find solutions...it's not amd's fault...it's bethesda's...

Peros are you never going to read previous posts before wasting your 2 cents?

The problems we are talking about are flickering, texture corruption etc, and only on a second note stuttering which is related to the engine. But we could put up with that. Its the flickering that kills the game.

And using mods like SBW is NO option since windows mode KILLS crossfire.

Ok bumping this thread ready before 12.5 release because i know the crossfire flicker in skyrim will not be fixed, so we need to get as many people as possible to copy the link to this thread and paste it in an email to AMD customer support.

you should aim this petition at bethesda not amd and not just for crossfire. The game runs like donkey dick. Why in the world it only uses two cores is beyond me the 360 has a total of 5 threads it can utilize.

Ok so spyre said he reported the flickering associated with the 1.6 Beta patch to AMD... lets hope they eventually fix it for everyone. It's funny how some of us had to deal with this flickering since 11.12, and now new users begin to experience the same issues with a game update.
